Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

She seemed to sense something, a hint of doubt appearing on her delicate face. She turned to look towards the entrance of the insect bridge, which had just returned to calm, her brows furrowing slightly.

"That fleeting spatial fluctuation just now...did the male silhouette look familiar? Was it just my imagination?"

She felt that the silhouette she had caught a glimpse of earlier seemed familiar, carrying an indescribable, distant yet profoundly vague impression.

However, upon closer examination, no clear clues could be found.

Her primary task at this moment was to get to Earth as soon as possible, confirm the situation of the Taotie advance team, and report to Queen Keisha. It was inconvenient for her to stay here any longer.

Angel Yan took one last look at the enormous entrance to the insect bridge, then stopped investigating. With a flap of her wings, she transformed into a streak of light and continued flying rapidly toward the beautiful blue planet in the distance.

Inside the insect bridge passage, the bizarre and fantastical spatial scenes rushed past.

The planet Lieyang, that ancient, half-broken planet that still radiates powerful energy, is now in sight.

Chapter 24 Don't Insult Dogs!

The surface of the half-remaining planet, Lieyang, still radiates suffocating heat and ancient majesty. Molten gold-like blazing light flows across the ravine-lined land, like an eternal sigh.

In the center of the battlefield, Sun Wukong was engaged in a fierce battle with a divine general who was wearing magnificent silver heavy armor and wielding a halberd shaped like a three-pointed double-edged sword.

Each collision was like stars clashing; the deafening roar of the cudgel and halberd striking each other sent violent energy shockwaves scattering in all directions, carving deeper and more terrifying cracks into the already ravaged earth.

That divine general was none other than Xuan Tianji, Pan Zhen's top general.

His attacks were like a raging torrent, his divine power surging and boundless. Beneath his cold metal mask, his gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and he fought Sun Wukong, who was going all out, to a standstill, evenly matched.

Above the clouds, Pan Zhen, surrounded by a group of elite Sun Warriors, sat regally under a dazzling canopy, his posture lofty and superior, like a god-king looking down upon the squabbles of ants.

"Demon monkey, do you know who you fought? Xuan Tianji, a thousand years ago, was nothing more than a weak vanguard under your staff, an ant-like existence. You don't even remember his name."

He didn't make a move, but his cold and seductive words, like a poisoned dagger, precisely pierced Sun Wukong's defenses:

"And now, he can fight you with all his might for half an hour without being defeated! Even I, a mere minor god of the Blazing Sun, can hold you back this long. What right do you have to act so presumptuously on my Blazing Sun Star? And dare to speak of undermining my Heavenly Dao?!"

Sun Wukong deflected the halberd that stabbed at him like a venomous snake with his staff, baring his teeth and roaring, his voice shaking the surrounding area: "Because I, Old Sun, am the Victorious Fighting Buddha of Earth! I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

But beneath the roar, his heart was heavy.

Although Pan Zhen's words were vicious and harsh, they sharply pointed out a cruel reality.

Under normal circumstances, he was actually unable to defeat this "small soldier" who hadn't been seen in a thousand years in a short period of time!

In just a short span of a thousand years, the individual strength of the Lieyang Civilization has increased at a terrifyingly rapid pace.

Seeing this, Pan Zhen's lips curled into a barely perceptible, cold smile, as he prepared to continue applying psychological pressure to completely disrupt Sun Wukong's state of mind.

Just then, a calm voice, seemingly able to pierce through all the noise and roar of energy, resounded clearly and at a moderate pitch above the scorching battlefield:

"Great Sage, don't be fooled by him."

That sound...

Pan Zhen's smug, calculating smile vanished instantly, and his pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints!

It was so ancient, yet so deeply imprinted on his soul, haunting him like a nightmare for fourteen hundred years!

That year, the Heavenly Court of Clouds collapsed, the Heavenly Legion suffered heavy casualties, and the face of the blazing sun was trampled underfoot, all because of the owner of this voice!

He turned his head sharply, his gaze shooting towards the source of the sound like lightning.

Not far away, four figures appeared silently and calmly walking across the scorched earth.

The leader, dressed in black with black hair and black eyes, had a calm and indifferent expression. He was none other than Qin Chuan, whom he both hated and feared to the core.

Behind him followed the anxious and hesitant Sun Goddess Lena, the icy-faced Du Qiangwei, and Su Xiaoli, who was curiously gazing at the mythical battlefield with a gleam in her eyes.

Qin Chuan didn't even glance at Pan Zhen, whose expression had drastically changed, and continued calmly to Sun Wukong:

"This Xuan Tianji, after a thousand years of bloody battles and the extreme allocation of Lieyang resources, is no longer the nameless nobody he once was. He is now the number one general under Pan Zhen, and the Tiger Fiend Heavenly Protector, who ranks first among the four Heavenly Protectors of Lieyang. His divine body has also undergone a comprehensive upgrade, reaching the level of a third-generation divine body."

As he spoke, he finally raised his gaze slowly, sweeping it over Pan Zhen, whose face had turned ashen, his tone carrying an undisguised mockery:

"If such a powerful general, whose strength is enough to dominate among the many civilizations in the known universe and is comparable to the commander of a high-ranking angel legion, is still the insignificant 'minor god' that you, General Pan Zhen, speak of, then the known universe today is probably not governed by the righteous order of angels, but by the heavenly order of the blazing sun. Pan Zhen, your trick of bluffing and undermining the opponent's mentality has been used for thousands of years, and it is far too outdated and clumsy."

When his thoughts were ruthlessly exposed on the spot, Pan Zhen's face instantly turned extremely ugly, alternating between pale and flushed. However, his long-standing experience in high positions allowed him to suppress his anger and try to regain his composure.

He took a deep breath, his gaze turning somber as he looked at Qin Chuan, his voice carrying a suppressed chill: "After a thousand years, your esteemed presence graces my Lieyang Star. May I ask what brings you here?"

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, but his tone was calm and unquestionable: "My purpose in coming is the same as the monkey's. I've come to Lieyang to demand an explanation."

Pan Zhen's eye twitched violently. He suppressed his anger and tried to defend himself with a pre-prepared explanation:

"Earth is facing an invasion by the Taotie civilization of the Styx Galaxy. I, the Sun Goddess Lena, disregarded my own safety and went to Earth out of goodwill, to help Earth, a pre-nuclear civilization, resist the invasion of an advanced civilization! This is the interstellar morality that an advanced civilization should fulfill. What is there to say about it?"

Lena quickly stepped forward, flying between the two sides, and looked anxiously at Qin Chuan and Sun Wukong:

"Yes! Qin Chuan, Sun Wukong, you have to believe me! I genuinely want to help Earth! I have no ill intentions!"

Qin Chuan looked at Lena, his gaze softening slightly: "Lena, I naturally believe in your pure and kind intentions."

Immediately, his gaze sharpened again, staring directly at Pan Zhen. "But Pan Zhen, you, the actual controller of the Lieyang Civilization, I saw through your intentions fourteen hundred years ago."

"In your eyes, Lena may still be a child who can be easily guided or even manipulated by your words. Your high-sounding words about interstellar morality and mutual assistance between civilizations are just for show, to deceive her."

Qin Chuan's voice suddenly turned cold, each word like ice:

"Trying to fool me and the monkey? Pan Zhen, don't you find that ridiculous?"

Pan Zhen was speechless for a moment after being rebuked so mercilessly. His face turned pale and then red, and his breathing became unstable.

At that moment, Xuan Tianji, whose true identity had just been exposed and who had witnessed his master being humiliated, flew into a rage!

He has fought for thousands of years, when has he ever been so looked down upon?

He suddenly raised his halberd, its tip pointing directly at Qin Chuan. Divine power surged within him as he roared, "Insolence! How dare you be so disrespectful to the Regent!? You…"

Faced with Xuan Tianji's rebuke, which contained divine power and was capable of shattering mountains, Qin Chuan smiled. It was a smile that seemed to be watching an ant vainly jumping around, tinged with a hint of pity and indifference.

"Since when did it become your place, a mere insect, to interrupt?"

Before he finished speaking, without any apparent starting stance, he simply and casually pointed a finger in the air towards Xuan Tianji.

This gesture was ordinary and unremarkable, making no sound whatsoever.

But in an instant, it contained the supreme technique that Qin Chuan had comprehended in the Fox Demon World and was further enhanced by the energy of billions of star particles in his body in the Super God World—Earthly Fiend Transformation, without origin or form, all wonders return to dust!

With a single finger, the laws are revealed, and order is reorganized!

In Xuan Tianji's perception, it was as if the weight of the entire vast starry sky and the solemnity of the endless laws were condensed on that imperceptible point, exceeding the speed of light, ignoring distance, and crushing towards him!

The space around him was instantly and completely locked, solidified to a degree billions of times harder than neutron star matter!

He had nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape!

Even their thoughts were almost frozen!

An endless, primal fear instantly seized the core of his third-generation divine body!

"Roar--!"

He roared and unleashed the power of his third-generation divine body to its fullest extent. The dazzling divine light exploded like a supernova, and the runes on his silver heavy armor flashed wildly, trying to withstand the seemingly light finger strike that brought a sense of impending death!

However, to his despair, his third-generation divine body, which was capable of roaming freely in the known universe and withstanding direct bombardment from planet-destroying cannons for a short time, was as fragile as boiling water poured on snow, as fragile as paper, in the face of that faint light!

"Do not--!!!"

Xuan Tianji only had time to let out a short, desperate roar, filled with disbelief and horror.

The next moment, under that subtle yet seemingly annihilating fingertip, his imposing silver heavy armor, his powerful divine body honed over millennia, and his surging, vast divine power...

Everything began to disintegrate inch by inch from the point of contact with the energy at the fingertips, silently transforming into the smallest fundamental particles in the universe and dissipating into the eternally scorching air of the Sun Star.

Utterly, completely annihilated, body and soul!

Not even a trace, not a speck of dust, was left behind.

The fierce Tiger Guardian, who had just fought Sun Wukong, the God of War of Earth, to a draw after half an hour, was Pan Zhen's number one general and a powerful figure who had intimidated many civilizations in the known universe. Yet, he was killed by Qin Chuan with a single finger, as if he had never existed.

Deathly silence!

Time seemed to stand still.

All the Sun Warriors present were dumbfounded, as if the universe had been put on pause, their minds blank, unable to process the horrifying and mind-blowing scene before them.

Some soldiers even rubbed their eyes subconsciously, wondering if they were hallucinating.

Pan Zhen, who was above the clouds, completely lost his composure and gloom. He was first shocked and bewildered, as if his worldview had been shattered by a punch. Then, he reacted with overwhelming anger and heartache!

Xuan Tianji was his most capable lieutenant, his right-hand man, and a crucial pillar of combat power that Lieyang had cultivated with countless resources!

It was...it was right before his eyes that it was so easily wiped away, as if a speck of dust had been brushed off!

"Qin Chuan!!!"

Pan Zhen abruptly stood up from the throne, his body radiating a terrifying, stellar energy surge that could ignite a star, uncontrollably evaporating the surrounding clouds. His voice trembled violently with extreme anger and a hint of indescribable fear.

"You! Even when beating a dog, you should consider its owner! How dare you... how dare you commit such a heinous act!!"

Qin Chuan slowly withdrew his finger, as if casually brushing away a speck of dust. He interrupted Pan Zhen's roar, which seemed to tear the stars apart, his tone calm yet suffocating, carrying the ultimate humiliation:

"Don't insult dogs. I told you, he's just a talkative bug."

He paused, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the spot where Xuan Tianji had disappeared. "He couldn't even catch one of my fingers, isn't that the best proof? Keeping such trash around is just a waste of Lieyang's resources."

"you……!"

Pan Zhen was trembling with rage, his face turning a terrifyingly ashen. Terrifying solar energy gathered wildly in his palm, forming tiny solar flares. The destructive energy fluctuations distorted space, and he was about to attack without regard for anything else!

The blazing sun's dignity and the fall of his generals were burning away his reason!

But in the end, the lingering, profound fear from 1,400 years ago and the overwhelming force of the horrifying reality before him, like a glacial river pouring down from the heavens, firmly suppressed his impulse.

Even Xuan Tianji, who possessed a third-generation divine body, was instantly killed with a single finger!

Pan Zhen was merely one of the best among the three generations of divine bodies, and there was also the main god Lena, who was also a third-generation divine body!

Just how terrifying is Qin Chuan's strength?!

Fourteen hundred years later, he has not only not been eliminated by the times, but has become even more unfathomable!

Just as Pan Zhen was caught in a dilemma, feeling both ashamed and indignant, Lena suddenly leaped forward, spread her arms, and resolutely stood between the two sides.

Her stunningly beautiful face held shock and complexity, but above all, the decisiveness of the supreme deity.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the raging storm in her heart, and with the majesty of the Sun Goddess, she sternly addressed Pan Zhen:
